Bayern Munich midfielder Kimmich: Liverpool are favourites

Joshua Kimmich believes Liverpool are favourites against Bayern Munich in their Champions League last-16 tie.

The two clubs will play the first leg tomorrow night at Anfield.

And Kimmich thinks his side enter as underdogs against last season's finalists.

"Liverpool are the favourites," the full-back told The Telegraph. "They have lost one league game all season and have let in only 15 goals. But when you look at us, we are not as consistent as before.

"Now, it's a bit different. It's a chance to develop, to find new ways to success. We are close to Dortmund, in the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal, and still in the Champions League. So, not everything's bad. But we need to improve our style of playing before we can compare to the best teams in Europe."
